TOP-LEVEL AIRCRAFT REQUIREMENT TRADE STUDIES FOR HYDROGEN FUEL CELL REGIONAL AIRCRAFT
M. Di Stasio¹, F. Nicolosi¹; ¹UNINA, Italy
This work investigates how top-level aircraft requirements influence the design of fuel cell-powered regional aircraft. Hydrogen-electric concepts are compared with conventional turboprops using a consistent conceptual design framework to assess TLAR sensitivity, energy demand, and operating cost implications for a 2040 entry-into-service scenario.
